Interior cerebrum is called white matter.
CEREBULLUM, the part that lies below the
cerebrum. It is the second largest part of brain.
MEDULLA OBLONGATA is a stem like part seen
close to the cerebullum, below the cerebrum.
The thalamus seen at the interior of the brain.
CEREBRUM

CORTEX
FRONTAL LOBE- associated with

reasoning,planning, parts of
speech,movement,emotions and problem solving.

around the brain or spinal cord,usually due


to infection,neck stifness,head ache.
BRAIN ABSCESS: A pocket of infection in
the brain,usually caused by bacteria.
SEIZURES: Included in the seiszure
